Take the pasta shapes quiz

The Italians may not have invented pasta (there's debate on
whether it originated in China or Italy), but there's no doubt that
they have perfected it. According to the Encyclopedia of Pasta,
Italians have created over 1,300 different shapes of pasta. If you
are passionate about pasta, you may want to take the quiz offered
by indexed magazine Saveur to see how
many pasta shapes you can identify.

As you take the quiz and choose the pasta name you think goes
with the photo, you get to see what percentage of participants
guessed each answer. That can take the sting out of an incorrect
choice if you see that many people struggled with the answer. Most
of the shapes are fairly commonplace although there are a couple of
obscure shapes included for a real challenge.
